So at 145-150 F, as compared to a dehydrator at 100 F requiring on average 18 hours to dehydratre, oven dehydration would be 25% faster. Am I on the right track?

i'm hoping an expert at this will respond. this is not a skill i have yet. i need to start researching.

right now i'm waiting for my mom to feel ready to start doing peaches. she's slown down a great deal in the last year and i have to be delicate about her feelings. she has been a very strong and determined person. she has worked very hard her entire life and it's tough on her pride not to be able to do everything herself. we have worked out to be a good team though.

i can bend like the willow. .

No. All decent Dehydrators have temp control and sorry but I dehydrate at 130-135F and it takes about 10 hours.

What's the added cost on the electrical bill for those 10 hours of drying?
